Is my Chevy Equinox a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder?

The Chevy Equinox is available with either a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engine, depending on the specific model and configuration you have. To determine the engine size of your Equinox, you'll need to check the vehicle's specifications or consult your owner's manual.


Chevy Equinox Engine Options


The Chevy Equinox is offered with two main engine options:



  • 4-cylinder engine: The standard engine for the Equinox is a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, which produces 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.

  • 6-cylinder engine: An optional 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is also available, which generates 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.


The 4-cylinder engine is the more fuel-efficient option, while the 6-cylinder provides more power and acceleration. The specific engine in your Equinox will depend on the trim level and any optional upgrades you may have selected when purchasing the vehicle.


Identifying Your Equinox's Engine


To determine the engine size of your Chevy Equinox, you can check the following:



  • Refer to your owner's manual, which will list the engine specifications for your particular model.

  • Look for a label or badge on the exterior of the vehicle that indicates the engine size, such as "1.5T" or "2.0T".

  • Check the vehicle information sticker, typically located on the driver's side door jamb, which will list the engine displacement and other technical details.


If you're still unsure about the engine in your Equinox, you can also consult with a Chevy dealer or mechanic, who can help you identify the specific engine based on the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
